[I have previously posted this to an aus distribution and got no reply]

I am looking for pointers or information on the clisent/server mode of
GNUemacs.  I have found the client and server programs but can't work
out how they are suppoed to be used, and can't find anything in the FM.

My understanding is that this will allow me to use one emacs process
(which is quite large) as a server and several clients as the editor
for MH/rn/4GL and other "call editors within an application" uses,
without continual creating/destroying emacs processes.

My environment:  GNU emacs 18.52, SunOs 3.5 under both SunView and
yukko 80x25 terminals.

Thanks for your help.

Greg.
